Three Short Reviews: La Chimera (2023), Girl (2018), and Enter the Dragon (1973)

La Chimera (2023) My Rating: 10/10 La Chimera is a poetic, beautiful, and nihilistic masterpiece that skillfully blends the theme of class divide with a detached, timeless emotion, creating a stark contrast between human struggle and transcendence. The film evokes the spirit of the best European cinema from the 1960s. With its characters occasionally displaying absurd and bizarre traits and its frequent depictions of dreams and the subconscious, the film is reminiscent of Fellini's later classic works. Director Alice adeptly employs changes in aspect ratio and frame rate, even incorporating direct interactions between characters and the audience, reminiscent of Godard's playful style.
